Project

 

eMultipoetry is an educational poetry project realised as part of the European Union’s Grundtvig Programme. The project is run by cultural institutions in Poland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Greece.

As part of the programme we are creating a new multi-language international online space for poetry. And not only for “high” and recognised poetry. We enable our users to systematically write and translate poems at the level they are actually at with opportunities to improve their own abilities and making international contacts and exchanges.

The project is aimed both at individual users of any age and those who run creative writing and translation courses.

Using our tools you can set up your own profiles, publish poems, translate them, comment on and evaluate the work of others, write poems in specially-constructed online games, and create group poems online under the supervision of moderators on specially-created chats. Interest groups can also be set up, as well as closed student groups who can improve their writing technique in various forms of poetry and prose under the supervision of lecturers.

In the near future further languages and online games will be added. Come and join the service!
